Create an empty folder

First of all, you need to create a new empty folder in the root folder of your WordPress website. Typically, it is located here: /public_html/.

Our example is an addon domain; that’s why its address is /public_html/wildride1/. So, the location of our HTML template will be /public_html/wildride1/landing/, where ‘landing’ is the name of the folder with our template. The page will be available at http://wildride1.trinqt.com/landing/.

There are many ways to upload files to your hosting. You can use a standalone file manager (e.g. Total Commander or FileZilla), but we will use the default browser-based File Manager available in CPanel.

Step 1: Go to your CPanel and open File Manager.

Step 2: Create an empty folder in the root of your WordPress website.

Upload your static HTML template

You are not allowed to upload regular folders, but you can upload .ZIP files and unzip them right in the file manager. The process is quick and painless.

Step 3: Extract only the template files; ignore sources, screenshots, documentation, etc. In our case you need the contents of the ‘site’ folder:

Step 4: Rename the index.html file to index.php.

Step 5: Add all the files to a .ZIP archive.

Step 6: Now go to the file manager, and upload your .ZIP file into the folder you’ve just created.
